title: Test if an Object is an Instance of a Constructor

# --description--
As a reminder, this project is being built upon the following starter project on [Replit](https://replit.com/github/freeCodeCamp/boilerplate-mochachai), or cloned from [GitHub](https://github.com/freeCodeCamp/boilerplate-mochachai/).
`#instanceOf` asserts that an object is an instance of a constructor.
# --instructions--
Within `tests/1_unit-tests.js` under the test labelled `#18` in the `Objects` suite, change each `assert` to either `assert.instanceOf` or `assert.notInstanceOf` to make the test pass (should evaluate to `true`). Do not alter the arguments passed to the asserts.
# --hints--
All tests should pass.
```js
(getUserInput) =>
$.get(getUserInput('url') + '/_api/get-tests?type=unit&n=17').then(
(data) => {
assert.equal(data.state, 'passed');
},
(xhr) => {
throw new Error(xhr.responseText);
}
);
```
You should choose the correct method for the first assertion - `instanceOf` vs. `notInstanceOf`.
```js
(getUserInput) =>
$.get(getUserInput('url') + '/_api/get-tests?type=unit&n=17').then(
(data) => {
assert.equal(
data.assertions[0].method,
'notInstanceOf',
'myCar is not an instance of Plane'
);
},
(xhr) => {
throw new Error(xhr.responseText);
}
);
```
You should choose the correct method for the second assertion - `instanceOf` vs. `notInstanceOf`.
```js
(getUserInput) =>
$.get(getUserInput('url') + '/_api/get-tests?type=unit&n=17').then(
(data) => {
assert.equal(
data.assertions[1].method,
'instanceOf',
'airlinePlane is an instance of Plane'
);
},
(xhr) => {
throw new Error(xhr.responseText);
}
);
```
You should choose the correct method for the third assertion - `instanceOf` vs. `notInstanceOf`.
```js
(getUserInput) =>
$.get(getUserInput('url') + '/_api/get-tests?type=unit&n=17').then(
(data) => {
assert.equal(
data.assertions[2].method,
'instanceOf',
'everything is an Object in JavaScript...'
);
},
(xhr) => {
throw new Error(xhr.responseText);
}
);
```
You should choose the correct method for the fourth assertion - `instanceOf` vs. `notInstanceOf`.
```js
(getUserInput) =>
$.get(getUserInput('url') + '/_api/get-tests?type=unit&n=17').then(
(data) => {
assert.equal(
data.assertions[3].method,
'notInstanceOf',
'myCar.wheels is not an instance of String'
);
},
(xhr) => {
throw new Error(xhr.responseText);
}
);
```
